You can bluff and raise if you have a monster hand, but be careful with your play. If your opponents fold or bet large amounts, you may get crushed. You have played well, but got unlucky. If your opponent is playing loose and aggressively, try to trick them into giving up their cards. This can be a good strategy, but it can also backfire. Always keep in mind the probability of the next card, as this can determine the outcome of the game.
